About Bad Things Play Here!

I mentioned in the reveal that I was going to do a more condensed post for Bad Things Play Here, so here it is! If you haven't already heard, this is an upcoming book set in the same universe as the Underworld Saga. HOWEVER, it is an Adult Paranormal Romance, NOT a Young Adult Paranormal. Please keep that in mind! This means there were will be strong language and sexual situations not suitable for a younger audience. If you're wondering why the cover says Seven Deadlies on the side, that is because, while this is a stand alone, I've been playing with the idea of making it part of a series and writing a book for each of the seven deadly sins, which in my universe are known as, you guessed it, the Seven Deadlies. This is not definitive yet, but while talking it over with my cover designer, she really wanted to do something on the side like that so I figured, why not. If I end up doing more with them then this cover is already set, and if I don't...no harm. It still looks really cool, am I right?! :)

Anyway, there are a couple appearances by familiar faces from the Underworld books, but Piper and Reece's (who is Dionysus) story takes place before the start of Unhinged, and just after Spencer and Micah's incident on the bridge. The release date is looking like sometime in June as of right now, but keep checking back for a set date!

Piper Anesidora hates her last name,
and the Reaper and demon infested life that comes with it. For centuries, her
family has been tasked with protecting Pandora’s Box, and ensuring it’s never
reopened. That’s why five years ago she ran away, hoping to build a normal
life, one of her own choosing. And it worked. For a little while. But now her
brother has been taken by Orpheus, a malicious soul who’s escaped from the
Underworld, and if that isn’t bad enough, he’s also stolen the box. The sooner
she finds her brother and stops Orpheus from unleashing hell on earth, the
better. Piper wants nothing more than to return to the mundane existence she’s
created for herself. That is until she’s partnered with the one guy capable of
making her crave more. She’s always been told giving into sin is wrong, but her
ancestors clearly never met Lust.

You
can’t resist temptation…

Reece Luben takes intimate knowledge
to a whole new level. As the Greek god of lust, he has a long standing
reputation to uphold as a playboy, despite the fact he’s grown bored with the
game. It’s been centuries since he’s cared about someone other than his maenads,
so he passes the time getting people to shed their inhibitions. As one of the
few beings who can sense Pandora’s Box, Reece has no choice but to help Piper
find and stop Orpheus, even though he’s avoided her family since the start of
his second life. But the feisty Anesidora woman makes him feel things he’s long
forgotten, and what starts out as one night giving into desire turns into
another…and another. What happens when the god of lust decides he’s changing
the game and playing for keeps?
